Overview

package cmtLog is responsible for producing a log of chain's block decisions for a particular committee. The main tasks for this module are:

  • Track the head of the chain log for a committee.
  • Track which blocks are approved, pending or reverted.
  • Handle startup and recovery scenarios.

Main principles of the algorithm: > - Propose to go to the next log index when > - a) consensus for the latest known LogIndex has terminated (confirmed | rejected | skip | recover). > All the previous can be left uncompleted. > - b) confirmed alias output is received from L1, that we haven't posted in this node. > - and we have a tip AO (from the local view). > - If there is a single clean chain, we can use pipelining (consider consDone event > instead of waiting for confirmed | rejected). > - We start a consensus instance whenever VLI reports a quorum and we have not started it yet. > Even if we provided no proposal for that LI.

The algorithm at a high level:

> ON Startup: > Let prevLI <- TRY restoring the last started LogIndex ELSE 0 > MinLI <- prevLI + 1 > LogIndex.Start(prevLI) > UPON AliasOutput (AO) {Confirmed | Rejected} by L1: > LocalView.Update(AO) > IF LocalView changed THEN > LogIndex.L1ReplacedBaseAliasOutput() > TryProposeConsensus()

> ON Startup: > Let prevLI <- TRY restoring the last started LogIndex ELSE 0 > MinLI <- prevLI + 1 > LogIndex.Start(prevLI) > TryProposeConsensus() > UPON AliasOutput (AO) {Confirmed | Rejected} by L1: > LocalView.Update(AO) > IF LocalView changed THEN > LogIndex.L1ReplacedBaseAliasOutput() > TryProposeConsensus() > ON ConsensusOutput/DONE (CD) > LocalView.Update(CD) > IF LocalView changed THEN > LogIndex.ConsensusOutput(CD.LogIndex) > TryProposeConsensus() > ON ConsensusOutput/SKIP (CS) > LogIndex.ConsensusOutput(CS.LogIndex) > TryProposeConsensus() > ON ConsensusTimeout (CT) > LogIndex.ConsensusTimeout(CT.LogIndex) > TryProposeConsensus() > ON Suspend: > Suspended <- TRUE > TryProposeConsensus() > ON Reception of ⟨NextLI, •⟩ message: > LogIndex.Receive(⟨NextLI, •⟩ message). > TryProposeConsensus() > PROCEDURE TryProposeConsensus: > IF ∧ LocalView.BaseAO ≠ NIL > ∧ LogIndex > ConsensusLI > ∧ LogIndex ≥ MinLI // ⇒ LogIndex ≠ NIL > ∧ ¬ Suspended > THEN > Persist LogIndex > ConsensusLI <- LogIndex > Propose LocalView.BaseAO for LogIndex > ELSE > Don't propose any consensus.

See `WaspChainRecovery.tla` for more precise specification.

Notes and invariants:

  • Here only a single consensus instance will be considered needed for this node at a time. Other instances may continue running, but their results will be ignored. That's because a consensus takes an input from the previous consensus output (the base alias ID and other parts that depend on it).
  • A consensus is started when we have new log index greater than that we have crashed with, and there is an alias output received.

## Summary.

Inputs expected:

  • Consensus: Start -> Done | Timeout.
  • AliasOutput: Confirmed | Rejected -> {}.
  • Suspend.

Messages exchanged:

  • NextLogIndex (private, between cmtLog instances).

Here we implement the local view of a chain, maintained by a committee to decide which alias output to propose to the ACS. The alias output decided by the ACS will be used as an input for TX we build.

The LocalView maintains a list of Alias Outputs (AOs). The are chained based on consumed/produced AOs in a transaction we publish. The goal here is to tract the unconfirmed alias outputs, update the list based on confirmations/rejections from the L1.

In overall, the LocalView acts as a filter between the L1 and LogIndex assignment in varLogIndex. It has to distinguish between AOs that are confirming a prefix of the posted transaction (pipelining), from other changes in L1 (rotations, rollbacks, rejections, etc.).

We have several inputs:

  • **Alias Output Confirmed**. It can be AO posted by this committee, as well as by other committee (e.g. chain was rotated to other committee and then back) or a user (e.g. external rotation TX).

  • **Alias Output Rejected**. These events are always for TXes posted by this committee. We assume for each TX we will get either Confirmation or Rejection.

  • **Consensus Done**. Consensus produced a TX, and will post it to the L1.

  • **Consensus Skip**. Consensus completed without producing a TX and a block. So the previous AO is left unspent.

  • **Consensus Recover**. Consensus is still running, but it takes long time, so maybe something is wrong and we should consider spawning another consensus for the same base AO.

On the pipelining:

  • During the normal operation, if consensus produces a TX, it can use the produced AO to build next TX on it. That's pipelining. It allows to produce multiple blocks per L1 milestone. This component tracks the AOs build in this way and not confirmed yet.

  • If AO produced by the consensus is rejected, then all the AOs build on top of it will be rejected eventually as well, because they use the rejected AO as an input. On the other hand, it is unclear if unconfirmed AOs before the rejected one will be confirmed or rejected, we will wait until L1 decides on all of them.

  • If we get a confirmed AO, that is not one of the AOs we have posted (and still waiting for a decision), then someone from the outside of a committee transitioned the chain. In this case all our produced/pending transactions are not meaningful anymore and we have to start building all the chain from the newly received AO.

  • Recovery notice is received from a consensus (with SI/LI...) a new consensus will be started after agreeing on the next LI. The new consensus will take the same AO as an input and therefore will race with the existing one (maybe it has stuck for some reason, that's a fallback). In this case we stop building an unconfirmed chain for the future state indexes and will wait for some AO to be confirmed or all the concurrent consensus TX'es to be rejected.

Note on the AO as an input for a consensus. The provided AO is just a proposal. After ACS is completed, the participants will select the actual AO, which can differ from the one proposed by this node.
